I would like to take this time to help advertise a game buddies of mine have been working on [and off] over the last year. I present to you.... Charles Barkley, Shut Up and Jam.... GAIDEN!

It's a 16bit generation jrpg starring the titular character, Charles Barkley... in the post-cyberpocalyptic dystopoia that is... Neo New York.

"The Great B-Ball Purge of 2041, a day so painful to some that it is referred to only as the "B-Ballnacht". Thousands upon thousands of the world's greatest ballers were massacred in a swath of violence and sports bigotry as the game was outlawed worldwide. The reason: the Chaos Dunk, a jam so powerful its mere existence threatens the balance of chaos and order. Among the few ballers and fans that survived the basketball genocide was Charles Barkley, the man capable of performing the "Verboten Jam"...

Flash forward 12 years to the post-cyberpocalyptic ruins of Neo New York, 2053. A Chaos Dunk rocks the island of Manhattan, killing 15 million. When the finger is put on the aging Charles Barkley, he must evade the capture of the B-Ball Removal Department, led by former friend and baller Michael Jordan, and disappear into the dangerous underground of the post-cyberpocalypse to clear his name and find out the mysterious truth behind the Chaos Dunk. Joined by allies along the way, including his son Hoopz, Barkley must face the dangers of a life he thought he gave up a long time ago and discover the secrets behind the terrorist organization B.L.O.O.D.M.O.S.E.S."

Words cannot describe how amazing the game is. Be warned though... a sense of humor is required to play through it. The creators had fun making it... and you should have fun playing it. Every aspect of the game was intentional. It is exactly what the creators wanted. It is a satire on so many levels... and you should definitely check it out.
